Mastercook 15 Recipe PC

I received Mastercook 15 today and love it. It was so easy to install and use. I highly recommend this product to anyone who has tons of recipes sitting in file folders, index cards, scratch paper and more.

Had used a much older version of MasterCook for years until my laptop totally crashed. Of course, my recipes werent backed up on any removable device.

My husband bought the original Mastercook program for me years ago & we had to update to this new one. I love how you can input new recipes or create your own ones with this program. And I like how you can create your own personal cookbooks with the program. What I also like about the program is within a recipe you can add what Cuisine it is & what type of recipe it is. That allow you to search within the cookbook of the type of Cuisine you want to make and search for a description of the recipe. Italian, Pasta. Italian, dessert. Southern, side dishes. Etc. You input the type of cuisine & you can input as many description within the cookbook for the recipes. The list is endless. I love the program. So much easier than try to sort through Pinterest for recipes without all the popup ads.

Bought the cook book and would not load sent back I have windows 10 not happy at all

My love affair with MasterCook is over! I began using this product when it first came out, back in the days of floppy discs, and found it to be the best cookbook database around. I have faithfully upgraded this, in all its different guises and over 20 odd years have added a substantial number of personal recipes. So, why the falling out? Simply put, the new incarnation of Mastercook is too buggy to be reliable. I am running windows 10 with MC 15 and find I am having to re-load the program constantly. Ask it to do the simple things and it is perfectly good, it has some great extra features but... ask it to do multiple things for example transfer more than a dozen recipes over to a new cookbook and it crashes. Opening the program to simply access a recipe is a gamble as to if it decides to work today or not. I have better things to do with my time than to endlessly tinker with a buggy program.

I purchased this item to record and print my recipes. After a great deal of work, I was finally able to get the program to display the recipes as I wanted them displayed. All I wanted was a list of the ingredients over a list of the steps to create the recipe. I also wanted this information in sufficiently large type that I could easily read it. This is not much to ask for, but it took about four hours to create this format. Then, when I went to print the recipe it would not follow the format that I had created. Instead, the program had its own format that was not at all like what I had formatted for the recipes in which it printed the recipe. If I wanted to have my recipes printed in the format I had designed I would need to spend more time formatting the printing template. At that point, I decided I would simply design my own recipe program using Word and Excel. It is much easier and cheaper that MasterCook. Do not waste your money on this product.

This software is a must have for those of you who want to organize your recipes and know the nutritional information too! I am in the process of importing all of my recipes and genuinely enjoy how easy this product is to use.

An excellent program that is very well done. It arrived faster that expected.

Returned. Was advertised as working with Windows 10. I couldnt get it to work.

Have been using MasterCook for years. Did a family and friends cookbook as Christmas gifts several years ago, they were a big hit, some have been handed down to their kids. I like the fact that I can now share recipe books and my recipes with family on line, great feature, I dont any longer get those phone calls How did you make this. Great program,
